Today was my last day in the ED. I got to learn to use a slit lamp to look at people’s eyes and I had a return patient for some good “continuity of care.” I also had a bad leg infection from a guy who had his wound surgically debrided a few weeks ago and then left AMA without completing his course of antibiotics and just happened to come back because he got picked up by the police for a stolen bike. Then there was a lady that was screaming at everyone while getting medically cleared for jailed because she was destroying the flower arrangements at the grocery store. So overall it was a very ED day.
I’m going to miss being here because of the variety of stuff I got to see and the different stuff I got to do. It was definitely a good learning experience for me as a student. A lot of medical school condensed into a short amount of time. Hope this isn’t my last time doing a lot of this stuff.
